Flashed 18 this morning on top of 17 with a dalvik cache wipe * 2 and a plain cache wipe...my 3G data broke after that...even after a couple of reboots. Anyone have an idea what happened? Will attempt to re-flash again later. Have noticed on several previous nightly builds that cm7 didn't play nice with adw ex...in my phone. Has anyone else experienced the same? Was looking as if there were some lag as if other apps previously opened was not properly closed or the OS was not handling them properly.

HUGE THANKS TO GALT FOR RESOLVING THE GPS ISSUE FOR CM7. Really is just something else to remember since we are NOT running a ROM that is native to this device (or we would be able to access those ## edits that are built in to the device.) ##edits are called EPST edits right??

Works perfectly for me. Running 17.
[EVO 4G General] posguy99:
EPST is a proprietary software application created and developed by Sprint. It is not "built into the device". No AOSP ROM is going to contain this application.
[EVO 4G General] brule71:
On build 18 and using stock SMS app I get gesture trails if I am in the box for the message. Doesn't seem to "do" anything but figured I would ask of anyone else is getting this.
[EVO 4G General] HooliganAMA:
Wifi works perfectly. No problems with wifi or wifi tether.
[EVO 4G General] dp92180:
That works perfectly!! Thanks for your patience with my newbness!

With GPS and WIFI working and awesome built in themes I'm never going back to any other ROM. Looking forward to when 4G gets added.

My wifi working perfect on my evo.
[EVO 4G General] DarkAudit:
So then what's going on here? I'm not the only one who has posted about comatose wifi.

I've wiped data, cache, and dalvik before any flash. Multiple wipes sometimes.

This has happened on both the home and work networks, so it's not a single router or make of routers.

I haven't seen this happen when running any of Myn's releases.

Beyond that, the only things I could point at is a rogue app off the market or wonky data from Titanium Backup mugging my wifi. I guess I could try uninstalling all my apps, resyncing to get a clear phone, then reflashing to get a "clean" install.
[EVO 4G General] blueorder:
Must admit, this worked... but instead of flashing and setting up from start I just restored my CM7B18 nandroid.

Thank you
[EVO 4G General] Tenny:
I had some Wifi issues after doing the ##GPSCLRX#. ( I restored a nandroid of a previous CM7... like #10). I thought at first it was the kernel, but after multiple flashes / clearing wipes, I eventually went to a Kernel I know the WiFi worked on previously and no go.

So when #18 came out, I just started over (restored all apps, and a few key settings (browser mostly). Wifi works great now.
[EVO 4G General] Negrito:
I just noticed these too. got to settings within the messaging app, and scroll all the way to the bottom. we now have templates that can be invoked through gestures. ABout to try one out and see if it works.... will report back.

EDIT: Works just like the lockscreen gestures. I never would have thought of this, but what a great addition. :D
[EVO 4G General] GMschiller:
So... I think Build 18 completely ruined my evo... here's what happened...

Running build 17 and everyting was fine except some FC issues. Decided to go ahead and flash 18...

After setting everything back up I started trying to use some of my apps just to test them out...

Only noticed 1 that would not work al the way... Qik would load and run parts of the app, but not the chatting feature...

Ok, so tried fixing permissions, and rebooted the phone...

In walks the 15 year old son... Starts a fight with me...:mad:

During reboot, I smashed my phone and into my hardwood floor... (it seemed like the logical thing at the time... but I'm starting to think that wasn't one of my greatest ideas) :rolleyes:

Retrieved the battery from the next room over, screwed the back plane screws back in, snapped the cover back into place...

But something seems to have gone wrong when I rebooted... the screen has all these spiderweb looking cracks in it now and I think build 18 must be corrupt or I got a corrupt download because now I only get these littleblue lines across the screen... and nothing else :confused:

All is not lost... I can still hear all my notifications chiming away :p

Replacement phone is already in route... :D think I'll skip the durability tests in he future...

That's my build 18 flash story... what's yours? :cool:
[EVO 4G General] Negrito:
Pretty sure it was the hardwood floors, not cm7....

I've seen a ton of answers somewhere in xda

Go to settings/ wireless/ wi fi settings...hit menu/ advanced/ wifi sleep policy and select never

It happened to me on cm6 and all the seasoned experts here did not answer me either because its been posted 12 million times ... hope it works

Edit... I just remembered... this did not work for me the 1st time when my wifi would not reconnect. I flashed the stock eve rom... then went back to cm6 and all was fine

[EVO 4G General] pinetreehater:
Wifi and to some extent cell signal have always been weak and prone to disconnect for me in any cm rom. With my wifi, it works fine as long as I am near the router. But when I go downstairs the signal gets weak and prone to not transmitting data. My wife's EVO will have full wifi strength and work perfect, as will mine if I switch back to a sense rom. There is a whole long thread in the cyanogen forums about this. No one has found a solution. The wifi indicator will say wifi is connected...but nothing loads. Then a few minutes later (or after disconnecting and reconnecting manually) it will start transmitting data again.

I have noticed that many people say their wifi is fine. ...don't know what is up with that..maybe only certain routers are affected. Mine as always been sporadic since early cm 6.
[EVO 4G General] rstuckmaier:

Flash any Sense ROM, open phone and type ##SRNFIX#

[EVO 4G General] GMschiller:
I WISH! Little bit worried that when I ship my phone back, and they repair the screen, they'll notice the phone was rooted and yank my insurance... Probably not... but I guess they could. Luckily I have all the personal stuff locked with app protector pro... it's not impenetrable... but it's a deterrent at least.

OOOOO!!!! I hope they send a phone out with a battery this time... I still have the original 1300mah battery. would love to have a spare... without going to buy an extra. :D

still planning on going to get a 16gb class 10 micro SD card and the seidio 1750mah battery though... don't really want the huge extra large case on the back with the 3500mah option.

I heart Galt. GPS working great on 17 after following his procedure.
[EVO 4G General] NutritionN:
Couldn't have explained my WiFi issue better. I can't figure out how people are saying WiFi is perfect either. There is a huge range problem compared to stock in my house while being on CM 6/7.

I end up just resorting to 3G more times than not just for consistent data.
[EVO 4G General] brokentoaster24:
using gps status to clear data and redownload worked for me earlier, but didn't work when i tried to replicate the results :P curse you gps
[EVO 4G General] jamesey:
When the EVO first came out the wifi had no distance. Htc patched it through an update and all was well. I'm guessing the asop roms are using old wifi source.

I only get two bars max of 3G in my house, but in the street in front of my driveway four bars... My router is in the living room which is on the first floor directly below my bedroom and I usually always have full bars, but mine stays connected with out fail. Only time it drops is when my router needs a restart, but then it has failed for all devices connected...
[EVO 4G General] NutritionN:
I'm not dropping WiFi connects all the time. I'm good being a room or two away from the router on my main floor, but if I'm upstairs or in the basement it's hit and miss.

I never lost the connection anywhere on my original Sprint ROM. But there are too many goodies in CM 7 to go back now. ;)

Since were on the subject of radio conectivities my Bluetooth will scan then time out when searching for my headset regardless of whether I have my device set to discoverable or not ,it used to connect fine on my first evo which had stock sense on it, but now I get nothing ..any body else have problems like this ..

[EVO 4G General] galt:
No problem guys. Glad it worked out, and thanks should go to all who were persistent and spent time trying and testing various fixes and shared their experiences (and whoever posted the original ##GPSCLRX## trick so long ago). That's a big part of what makes XDA such a great community.

Now we can move on....
[EVO 4G General] zonyl:
My wifi has been flakey at best with cm7, ok on cm6, perfect on fresh.

Occasionally on cm7 my wifi will just die and won't come back up showing "ERROR", which a reboot will solve. I have wds at home which causes a near constant dropout when it bounces between APs (have to toggle wifi).

I haven't mentioned anything sooner as I am still trying to come up with a reproducable scenario to report problems with. I have a very complex set of profiles on tasker which is clouding the process of repeating problems (I depend on it running though :) )

Bottom line I'm losing wifi a lot on cm7 compared to other roms.

Have you tried changing your sleep policy in the wifi settings? (Wifi-settings-menu, advanced settings).

I was having issues on the wifi not working after putting it to sleep (still showed connected but nothing loaded until I switched it off then on again) on cm6 and cm7. Changing the sleep policy to never had fixed it

Once my phone is charged back up I'm going to do the GPS clear and then install build 18. I'll put it within sight of the wifi router a d see what happens after a couple of hours. The signal at work at my desk is iffy in even the best of times.

At home I'm at the opposite end of the house as the router. Only a couple of walls between it and the phone. I'll test it out in the morning with the phone in the living room when I go to bed instead of the bedroom. That should take signal strength out of the equation.

Seems to be a bug that will not allow me to change theme with my LCD density scaled in build.prop. on build 18. It worked with earlier build.
[EVO 4G General] Karadorde:
Does it give you an error? I was able to do it without a problem.
[EVO 4G General] scoobdude:
I just wanted to point out that wifi signal is not sent out like a sphere but more like a doughnut.

More info here: http://www.connect802.com/antennas.htm

Hope it helps some of you until we get a better wifi driver. Also another solution is a repeater (which is about 50 bucks) if its a requirement
[EVO 4G General] voodoo55:
Dang. May just be me. Error says something about the theme missing assets for my screen size. Works fine when I change the density back to 240.
[EVO 4G General] Karadorde:
I got that same error. Edit worked great until I tried using the Theme Manager. I wonder if it would work fine if you switched back to the "System" theme.

[EVO 4G General] jerrygon:
Same problem here. I am using LCD size 192 on build 18 and it wont let me switch themes.
[EVO 4G General] DarkAudit:
Couple of observations. Add me to the list of people that got GPS to work on a nightly where it hadn't before by using the ##GPSCLRX# trick. Tracked me all the way home from work on Google Maps. Although there were a few spots where it was crazily flipping back and forth from 3D to 2D view.

First check of wifi worked well. Set the phone aside for a couple of hours in a spot where I got max signal. Wifi went right to work when I picked up the phone. Next test will be an extended rest while I go to bed after an overnight shift. :p

I'm trending to the "low signal strength" theory. Thanks for the info.
[EVO 4G General] zonyl:
Sorry, I ended up quoting the wrong post. The built in tether is ok and works, however, I like the tether app better as it shows me the clients connected.
[EVO 4G General] zonyl:
That's the first thing I check whenever I factory reset :)

Ill spend some time today and see what leads to my problems.

Are you using it while plugged in? My touchscreen has always been wonky on any CM and kernel while plugged in.
[EVO 4G General] dills2214:
I went from 18 to 20 and just noticed that the notification widgets are no longer limited to 6. When you add more than 6, it scrolls like MIUI!

I was hoping this would get added to cyanogen sometime!

(Hopefully this wasn't already posted about... if so sorry! I did check the last few pages.)
[EVO 4G General] drmacinyasha:
From my experience, wonky-when-plugged-in is due to a cheap/bad charger or USB port. I've got a battery charger with a USB port on it, that when I plug in to the USB port, the screen becomes completely unresponsive.
[EVO 4G General] dharris007:
Yep, that was it! Never noticed that before. Thanks!

Switched to Flightview. Works perfectly.
[EVO 4G General] posguy99:
Define "plugged in". The Evo has *always* had problems with certain junk Chinese chargers that kinda-sorta acted like USB and kinda-sorta didn't. The usual symptom was touchscreen malfunction.

If you're using one of those, test with the one the phone came with before assuming the ROM is the problem.
[EVO 4G General] theultimatev:
I've been theming my phone out in cyan, though I usually love gingerbread green the mau5 theme on the market has me hooked. Also I have a themed statusbar on build 13 & I don't really feel like upgrading...

I also have a jumpy touch screen when I'm plugged in. I only use HTC equipment to charge. I have had it on every CM7 build so far. Didn't say anything because I thought I'd seen it mentioned before that it was a known issue.

[EVO 4G General] ViViDboarder:
Yea........ Sarcasm. There were people asking if this build was going to be RC2 earlier. They would never spontaneously name a build RC within 24 hours. They'd make sure it's stable enough for RC first.

That was my point.
[EVO 4G General] jrmithdobbs:
Can you see what the differences are in the snap tree vs current cm-kernel_supersonic tree? I don't see any changes in the last 48 hours other than the kernel that could really be causing this.
[EVO 4G General] rdcrds:
I am just staying away till he releases something that works.Never had a problem with any nightly and this one went crazy.

They really should take it down.
[EVO 4G General] edtate:
It's interesting that some people in the dev thread have been able to run this 8/12 with no problems at all:confused:. Oh well, it's just a nightly.

@rdcrds- They have no obligation at all to take it down. The nightly's themselves are NOT finished roms nor are they ever labeled as such. You flash at your own risk.
[EVO 4G General] BigRick10:
Just go to terminal emulator. It comes pre installed and type

su

Reboot recovery
[EVO 4G General] rdcrds:
Yes i flash at my own risk but when it is this bad i think they should know about it.I never believe half the stuff people post so if people say it is working good it could be BS.As said i tried a few different ways and it will not work so to me i will wait for the next one.
[EVO 4G General] MagnusRagnarok:
you NEVER have to worry about looping if you have the following:

your dev box

usb cord

first:

if possible pull up ddms so you can see whats actually going on.

adb shell reboot recovery

repeat until it breaks thru the loop

try to hit enter right after it completes the loop and you have better chances of getting thru(sometimes i have to repeat numerous times, but it NEVER fails)

i STRONGLY RECOMMEND NOT flashing something like this while you are away from your sdk. you do not know me, but i have alot of exp. with looping and fixing it, and since evo, THE ONLY thing that has caused me loop so far is a broken/unfriendly kernel.
